Portofino Fine Food Pesto Genovese with Basil PDO 3 x 100 g

When you open a glass of Portofino pesto, you will not only smell the scent of the best Ligurian tradition, but also enjoy the emotions that this magical place can convey. The recipe is simple and valuable at the same time: it is a raw sauce that preserves the taste of the ingredients. It is obtained by crushing basil from Genoa, pine nuts and garlic, seasoned with Grana Padano, Parmesan, pecorino and olive oil. The earliest example of pesto dates back to Roman times, while the first official recipe presumably dates back to the 19th century, although it certainly draws inspiration from older sauces that were already popular in Liguria during the Maritime Republic of Genoa. Ideal as a ready-made pasta sauce, also suitable as an aperitif on bread croutons and finger food. Portofino Industrie Alimentari is a company that has specialized in the production of Pesto Genovese and products of the Ligurian tradition for more than 40 years. Opening a product pack is like opening a door to Portofino, like entering a house and capturing its fragrances, memories and its savoir vivre.
